Zero Denial

Zero Denial

Overcoming denial is the first stage in any therapeutic process. The subject has to confront oneself and dismantle the arguments that they have built up over time to justify their behaviour. These arguments can be rational or completely fantastical, dreamed up by one’s deeply buried guilt reflex. The justifying arguments can in some cases, such as the troll, become a motivational force, pushing the subject deeper and deeper into harmful behaviour.
